Dash Core version 18.1.1

Release is now available from:

https://www.dash.org/downloads/#wallets

This is a new hotfix release. All nodes should upgrade.

Upgrading and downgrading

How to Upgrade

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or dashd/dash-qt (on Linux). If you upgrade after DIP0003 activation and you were using version < 0.13 you will have to reindex (start with -reindex-chainstate or -reindex) to make sure your wallet has all the new data synced. Upgrading from version 0.13 should not require any additional actions.

When upgrading from a version prior to 18.0.1, the first startup of Dash Core will run a migration process which can take anywhere from a few minutes to thirty minutes to finish. After the migration, a downgrade to an older version is only possible with a reindex (or reindex-chainstate).

Downgrade warning

Downgrade to a version < v18.0.1

Downgrading to a version older than v18.0.1 is not supported due to changes in the indexes database folder. If you need to use an older version, you must either reindex or re-sync the whole chain.

Downgrade of masternodes to < v18.0.1

Starting with the 0.16 release, masternodes verify the protocol version of other masternodes. This results in PoSe punishment/banning for outdated masternodes, so downgrading even prior to the activation of the introduced hard-fork changes is not recommended.

Notable changes

This release fixes an issue where outdated qfcommit messages replayed to the network were validated and propagated to other nodes rather than dropped. This patch updates the behavior so that old qfcommits will no longer be relayed.
